  • I am afraid it is not just telivision, but americans have a nasty habit (when making factual programmes about anything whatsoever of arrogantly ignoring the rest of the world in it's entirety, I aggree that it does start to get fucking annoying, the average american appears to be as ignorant of the rest of the worlds existence and contribution to the world as much as many third world countries which have more of an excuse.

  • You are correct. A full history of TV technology would include John Logie Baird. Also it would talk about the attempted use of RCA's legal power to deprive Philo T. Farnsworth of his patent rights.

  • whats the song @ 0:06 ?

  • This is a history of American televison right?

    John Logie Baird invented the first 'tv' in 1925 & with it the first transmission he also invented the colour transmisson back in 1928..

    He also invented the first fully electronic colour television display which CBS & RCA took on and the first 3D TV all between 1939-44

    He wanted the BBC to transmit in 1000 lines which would have been HDTV after WWII was finished!

    The man was a genius!

  • I hate to break it to you but I think this was intentionally a history of american television. They didnt talk about world television because thats not what it was about.

  • Look for them. APTS has some.

  • where are the films?

  • John Logie Baird ???

    Manfred von Ardene ???

  • John Logie Baird was the father of the cumbersome mechanical television. It was crap even by standards in the last century!

  • What about John Logie Baird and the BBC? With all due respect this video is not a History of television but of American Television, ignoring all the other advances made in the world. The BBC started broadcasting regularly in 1936 and I believe a couple of other countries had a regular service before that.
